Iran asserts nuclear program is peaceful; China says issue has reached ‘critical juncture’
BEIJING, China — Iran’s deputy foreign minister says he had held “constructive” talks in Beijing today and insisted that Tehran’s nuclear program is “peaceful”.
“We had a very constructive and positive meeting today,” Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi tells top Chinese diplomat Wang Yi, accusing “some countries” of creating “an unnecessary crisis.”
“The comprehensive agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue is an important achievement achieved through dialogue and negotiation,” Wang Yi says, referring to the 2015 nuclear deal, adding: “… The situation has reached a critical juncture again.”
